Hi,

We're an ISP using FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 on our servers. We have a problem with
our DNS. Our domain is SAMARA.CO.ZW When doing an nslookup for anything
within that domain (e.g. mail.samara.co.zw) it appears that the lookup is
done outside our network. If we disconnect our link to our upstream
provider, we can't look up anything inside our network.

If I do:

nslookup mail

or ..

nslookup mail.samara.co.zw. (note the trailing dot)

then the lookup is instant but

nslookup mail.samara.co.zw

times out.


Any ideas on the source of the problem? The /etc/resolv.conf file contains:

domain          samara.co.zw
nameserver      196.2.64.1		<- samara.co.zw = 196.2.64.1
nameserver      147.28.0.34   
nameserver      204.59.144.222
nameserver      204.117.214.10

Best regards,

David
